| This high quality
Sterling silver-plated SFL-351S flute is excellent value
for money – offering the player an instrument packed
with features usually found on far more expensive models.
It is modelled on the Yamaha YFL-574 – the benchmark
for open hole flutes, and is, of course, brand new. The added
advatage of this item is it is supplied with a solid 925
silver headjoint.
This is a open-hole design flute that plays
in the key of C. It is equipped with offset-G keys and split-E
mechanism. It is highly responsive and plays with a solid
tone, accurate intonation and produces a crisp clear sound. Also included are silicone plugs to convert the
flute back to a closed hole model. These plugs enable the
player to become used to playing an open hole flute by working
in stages and changing it as necessary.
The solid silver headjoint will have a richer,
more beautiful sound than an all silver-plated flute. As
the silver content in the flute increases, the acoustic harmonic
content of the sound will increase. Played side-by-side,
a quality student flute with a sterling silver headjoint
will usually sound richer, fuller and more interesting than
an all silver-plated flute. For the intermediate student
who shows a strong commitment to the flute, the silver headjoint
is highly recommended.
The optimum headjoint can be of tremendous benefit
in both reducing many of the frustrations of learning and
in helping to produce a better quality of playing early in
the learning process. It is very important that the formation
of bad habits, especially in embouchure development, be avoided
through the use of the best possible headjoint, along with
high quality flute instruction. The headjoint supplied with
this flute is constructed of 92.8% solid silver which means
that it is STIRLING SILVER. The body of the flute is silver-plated.
The Sterling brand is far superior to most flutes
found on eBay, equivalent to the Jupiter brand, but, at around
half the price. Each flute is play tested and quality checked
before shipping ensuring you only get the best. The high
grade components used in the construction of this flute ensures
it has an excellent tone and look.
Comes complete with a durable, velour padded,
French style hard carry case, micro-fibre
chamois cleaning cloth and cleaning
rod. Also included is a fingering
chart and an instruction and care
booklet.
These flutes usually sell for upwards of £500.00
in retail stores. |
